KANSAS CITY, Kan.—Last year, Kyle Larson won the spring race at Kansas Speedway by the thinnest of margins—0.001 seconds in the closest finish in NASCAR Cup Series history.
On Sunday, after putting his No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet on the pole on Saturday, Larson defended his victory in far more decisive fashion, leading 221 of 267 laps in winning the AdventHealth 400 at the 1.5-mile track.
